Strangers
Sure,.. I met Tony Pierce one time.
I offered him a joint, but he's all hella straightedged and he just cold said no.
I'm such a little starfucker.
Tony's a pretty cool guy, although he seems slightly less cool in person than he is in his blog. That is not an indictment of his personality its just a testament to the artful power of his writing. He is living really large in his blog. I think his blog sets a standard for living as large as you wanna on a Hollywood budget. I hope more of it is true than is purported which would be easy since the tagline reads "nothing in here is true"
He was in town for the big SXSW interactive conference where he spoke on a panel of Black Bloggers. Those pictures were taken at Club DeVille, one of my most favoritest bars in town. I was thinking about Tony cause on Howard this morning they were talking about how E! cancelled Howard's TV show and they were talking about how some folks are gonna be out of a job. That made me think of somebody else that I know who recently lost their job at E!.
Looking for a job is the hardest job in the world,.. except maybe for those kids who do the diamond mining in South Africa. I hope Tony is able to land a satisfying gig sooner than later. buena suerte Tony...
After I met some of the folks who write some of the blogs that I enjoy very much I stopped blogging a little. There was a twofold reason there. First, I realized that there are a lot of people who are a lot more serious about their blogs than I am about mine. And some of those folks even write about hard hitting real-world type stuff, like politics and religion and racism and international who's its and what's its. And I write a lot of giblets and nonsense and lace a fair amount of bad poetry with the essence of nothing really. There are the pundits and the purveyors and they all generate way more traffic and interest than my little one man show of foolishness and virtual madness. I just feel bad when I am half assing things so sometimes I will just trim the fat and do other things for awhile. I did start drawing again during my blogging hiatus. The second reason has to do with a woman. The character that has been referred to as Ms Miss., like Ole' Miss.(but younger), has become quite a staple in my life. She and I have woven a nice little two person team. I didn't feel like blogging cause I didn't feel like sharing that part of life. I couldn't ignore it and I didn't want to post about it and so I just dipped for a minute. Can you blame me?
But, I just needed to remind myself why I write on a blog in the first place. Its cause I love writing and I don't do enough of it and I need an audience and some day I may start writing for serious and I want to be kinda warmed up, savvy? So here I am, back to the basics, spewing the kind of drivel that only a mother could love,.. just not my mother.. and I am happy as a clam. I know ya'll are all aware of the "Soulmate Correlate" to the "Bros over Hoes" rule so I know ya'll can't stay mad at me.
While I was away I got encouragement from this chick, and this dude
And I never got a chance to meet her, even though she works like two blocks from my house...
And I noticed that homeboy dropped me from his blogroll, what's up with that?
And T had some meltdown with his girl and was all,.. schreeeech, and you could almost smell the rubber burning.
And even A slowed down heaps and heaps,
so I don't feel too slack. nahmean?
